TANYA Ingram had a better excuse than most brides for being late to the church after she and her father, Pakenham CFA captain Vince Ingram, made a special detour via Pakenham Fire Station.
Tanya, the daughter of Vince and his wife, Debbie, wed Stuart Mitchell on Friday, 1 July.
Stuart is the only son of Adrian and Brenda Mitchell of The Gurdies.
At the fire station a shiny red truck was ready and waiting to provide a backdrop for some very special photos of Tanya, her dad and the bridal party.
Later in the day, CFA volunteers drove the fire truck to Stuart and Tanya’s reception at Amberlee Receptions in Cranbourne.
For her wedding Tanya chose a white strapless dress, with a full skirt embellished with delicate embroidery. Complementing her gown, the bride carried a bouquet of roses and oriental lilies.
Tanya was attended by maid of honour Emma Segtnam and her sister Kristy Ingram.
The girls wore fulllength strapless gowns in deep purple against which they carried bouquets of pink and white roses.
Bestman Lee Barber and groomsman David Edwards supported Stuart.
The bridal party also included flowergirl Tayla Hughes and pageboy Jason Collie.
Following their honeymoon to the Gold Coast, Stuart and Tanya settled in Pakenham.
